The best thing about this outfit? Pockets. Nice, deep pockets for tissues. Seems I’ve come down with something the last few days. Maybe the flu? I’m not sure, but it feels bad enough to be the flu. But this Everlane cardigan? Miraculous.

In case you couldn’t tell from the image alone (color! prints!), these aren’t MY sale picks, they’re Stacy Smallwood’s, owner of Hampden Clothing, a long time Grechen’s Closet partner. Stacy was gracious enough select some of her favorite pieces in the shop that are on sale now (plus, you can use code GRECHEN15 for 15% off everything!!) to share with you. A little color and print is nice every now and then, no??

It’s the last Monday of 2014. I try not to put much stock in the new year’s being when you MUST start new goals, achieve greatness, etc., etc., BUT it can be a good arbitrary time to take stock of your life thus far.

I sort of just “threw” this outfit together from some things in my closet I don’t wear very often, and because I was getting ready in a hurry I didn’t think too much about it, actually, and I ended up being quite happy with my outfit. (IF I’d had time to think more about it I probably would have changed a million times, and ended up wearing something completely different) Ah…the bane of my sartorial existence: over-thinking.
